The Decatur County School System was notified by the Decatur County Sheriff’s Office that criminal charges have been filed against a district employee. The employee has been placed on immediate administrative leave and is prohibited from all campuses and from any contact with students or staff. The employee will remain on leave while law enforcement proceeds with its investigation.
.
The district is fully cooperating with the Sheriff’s Office and conducting its own review in accordance with state law and district policy. Because this is an active criminal matter and due to confidentiality laws, we are unable to share additional details at this time. Questions regarding the criminal case should be directed to the District Attorney’s Office.
.
Our primary focus remains the safety and well-being of our students, staff, and school community. **Additional support will be available across all campuses, with additional counseling resources on-site at Decaturville Elementary School and Riverside High School for any students or staff who may need assistance during this time.
.
We appreciate the community’s understanding and cooperation as we work to maintain a safe and supportive learning environment for all.
